. I was expecting to see something that the jeep/bronco struggles with that "it" conquers easily, not something I'd take my father in laws' rav4 through.
I drove one on Saturday. My biggest takeaway vs the Bronco? Its really solid. The doors shut with a very satisfying thud. The ride feels extremely planted. The suspension blows me away. Just get under one and stare in amazement at the linkage. The tie-rod ends are the size of my wrist. The interior is very comfortable, those Ricaro seats are perfect. The 6cyl is ample, but not as quick as the 2.7 in my opinion. Overall, its proably worth the difference in price. It certainly will be much rarer than anything else around for a while as Ineos is only able to sell about 6K of them per year in the US as far as I've read (something to do with the poor fuel econony). The only thing I didn't like is that now that I've been driving a lifted F150 Lariat while waiting on my next Bronco, I've come to love the ride, size, comfort and power of my F150 and the Ineos (or Bronco for that matter), don't come close. Overall, the IG is a brilliant overlanding SUV. When I pulled up, there was a guy with a newer g-wagen sitting next to it, and the Ineos looked WAY better to me (a little bigger, and much more robust). I'm sure the g-wagen was night and day on the interior, but not another $100K better.
